"This feels like pieces splitting off without concern for the group"
Subject: Re: An Open Letter from US Software Development to Si1verP1atter and its Board
I have to say I'm disappointed. This rash of "I didn't sign it", and apologies really feels like a lot of back pedaling to me. I am also disillusioned. I felt that there was a good cooperative spirit in the development group, and that we made up a whole larger than the individual pieces. This feels like pieces splitting off without concern for the group. Jim, if you feel now that what we did, or the way that we did it was wrong, don't you think it would have been better to talk to the other people in the group first before individually sending off this e-mail. This certainly gives me the impression of a lack of solidarity, and lessons the impact and possible beneficial outcome of what we had hoped to achieve. I hope I am not the only person in the group that has these sentiments.
